"What should we do about this? Are our red dates ripening too early?"
Meng Qidi took the small basket from Ling Xiao's hand, bent down to pick up the red dates, and threw a tricky question to Ling Xiao.
To be honest, she was a little hesitant to gamble, so she could only test this man. His character had been fine before, but there was no guarantee that it would not change, and money could tempt people.
What's more, she has a heaven-defying gadget in her hand. Not to mention the space, even the Jade Spring Water can drive people crazy...
Ling Xiao is from the special forces team, so he must have strong reconnaissance abilities. It is impossible for him not to notice anything unusual at home.
If Ling Xiao used her abnormality to threaten her and forced her to tell him her secret, would she put him into the space and kill him to silence him?
But the moment she bent down, Meng Qidi was filled with thoughts. In the end, she was still afraid...
I trusted the wrong person in my previous life, so I am very cautious in this life, fearing that one wrong step will lead to more wrong steps...
never mind.
Meng Qidi let out a breath of foul air. If she was threatened, the worst that could happen was that she would hide in space for a hundred years before coming out again...
"Leave it at home to eat. I'm a patient, mom is not in good health, Xiao Chengzi is still growing, and you need nutrition to work. These few red dates are not enough."
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on Meng Qidi's back, and a barely perceptible hint of helplessness flashed across his deep eyes.
"Are you going to keep it at home and eat it instead of selling it?" Ling Cheng asked quickly, his face full of excitement.
"I won't sell it to you. I'll leave it for you to eat, okay? Sorry about the red dates last time."
Ling Xiao's next words were addressed to Meng Qidi. As for what he was apologizing for, only the two of them knew the answer.
The little girl screamed with excitement and picked up the things even more happily.
Meng Qidi looked up in surprise and met Ling Xiao's smiling eyes, "You...you..."
"Hurry up and pick it up. It's getting dark. You don't need to read today, right?" Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Meng Qidi came back to her senses and curled her lips, "You wish. I'll continue when we get back! I can still afford the kerosene."
The money Ling Xiao gave her was still in the passbook and had not been used. It was safely lying in her space. She still had some money in her hands, and she would be able to get some of it after the Pueraria root was sold.
Before she knew it, she had become a wealthy woman.
"You little heartless one."
Ling Xiao whispered, a smile spreading across his lips.
This was the first time he didn't have a headache about reading. Maybe he could give it a try as she suggested...
Meng Qidi felt uncomfortable with his laughter, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your good looks." Ling Xiao blurted out.
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned, and glared at him angrily, "You might as well just say that I'm as beautiful as a fairy. You're not being sincere when you compliment me."
"You looked me in the eyes with such sincerity. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
"Who wants to see you?"
Meng Qidi turned her eyes away uncomfortably, her heartbeat uncontrollably. She secretly spat at herself and snorted.
"You talk as if you don't see any other women in the army."
"Can a group of grown men compete with you?"
"Where's the art troupe?"
Meng Qidi blurted out, then realized that her question was out of line, she said uncomfortably.
"It is said that the girls in the art troupe are all pretty girls who can sing and dance well. If I marry one of them, I will be very proud."
"She can't lift anything with her hands or shoulders, so why marry her and worship her as an ancestor? When you're hungry, watch her dance, when you're thirsty, watch her sing?"
Meng Qidi twitched the corner of her mouth and rolled her eyes at him.
"If they knew you said that, they would probably want to beat you to death. How can you talk like that? They are so outstanding."
Ling Xiao nodded seriously, "You are right, I have not come into contact with many people and I am not narrow-minded. I shouldn't comment on others casually. The female soldiers in the art troupe are also excellent."
Meng Qidi...
After picking the red dates, the sky became completely dark.
I returned to the door, washed the red dates with well water, and placed them in the main room to dry. I left it to the old lady to decide how to prepare them, as she knew more about food.
In the evening, the two of them read until half past nine before going to bed.
The next day, Meng Qidi started digging sand.
After getting a lot of sand and soil back, Ling Xiao had already gotten up and helped to mix the cement. Meng Qidi began to prepare for bricklaying.
Ling Jinyue went to the town for a walk and came back. He sold the kudzu powder in his hand and put the money in Meng Qidi's room. He listened to Meng Qidi's instructions to pour out the water in the bucket.
There is a layer of white lumpy substance at the bottom of the barrel.
Wang Jinhua came out with a spatula and told her to dig it all out, and then crush it and dry it.
While people are busy under the tree, bricklaying has officially begun here.
"Your gesture is not okay. This is not how bricks are laid."
Meng Qidi paused as she picked up the brick and turned her head in surprise, "Isn't that so?"
"You have to lay the bricks crosswise, and the bricks here have to be chopped off."
Ling Xiao simply got up from the wheelchair and jumped down.
Meng Qidi silently made way for him and said, "I'll go get you a small stool."
Well, she really can’t lay bricks…
"Well, you just need to help out and carry cement and bricks."
Meng Qidi sighed. What else could she do except let him come...
Men and women work together and the work is not tiring. One lays bricks while the other helps, and the work is very fast.
By the afternoon when the sun had set, all the bricks in the canal had been laid.
"We can paste the cement tomorrow."
Ling Xiao jumped up with the help of Meng Qidi's hand, with beads of sweat on his forehead and a look of fatigue on his face.
Although there was a small stool for him to sit on and work, he was big and it took him half a day to move a small area.
Asking him, a grown man, to watch Xiaoqi while she works is something he really can't do.
Meng Qidi handed him the towel and said quickly, "Pasting cement doesn't require any skills, right?"
Ling Xiao wiped the dust off his face and said, "Well, no need. I can teach you on the shore."
"Are you done? It's time to eat."
Wang Jinhua groped her way to the door and shouted in the direction where the two people were talking.
"Here I am." Meng Qidi quickly pushed Ling Xiao's wheelchair over.
Ling Xiao glanced at him and said, "It's such a short distance, you don't need a wheelchair, right? You can just jump in."
Is he that squeamish?
"You've worked hard today. I'll push you in."
Meng Qidi pushed the man into the wheelchair without saying anything, and pushed him directly to the well, fetching water for him to wash his hands.
Someone washed and wiped his hands personally, but Ling Xiao was not flattered. Instead, he looked at her uncomfortably.
Why does he have the feeling that the person who is being too attentive to him is either a traitor or a thief?
When Ling Xiao was about to stand up after washing his hands and crossing the threshold, his shoulders were held down again, and he was forced to sit on the wheelchair...
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second he was picked up with his wheelchair...
He didn’t recover until he landed, “Meng Qidi…”
Are you still a woman?
"Can you still move your hands?"
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, "Can't you feed me if I can't move?"
"Ah, that's what I was planning. Let me feed you. You've worked hard today."
He had an injured leg, and she had made him stay in the ditch for a whole day. She was guilty...
Ling Xiao rolled his wheelchair towards the table, "Okay, then you come."
One of them fed the meal while the other ate. Although Wang Jinhua felt sorry for her son's hard work all day, she was very happy in her heart.
